First saltwater tank 90 gal. Starting to look good, just need to start adding a few more corals. I have a coralife fixture with 2 metal halide lights and 4 T5 ho atinics. there is some xenia growing really well in the tank, if anyone is interested give me a shout and you can have some. Also if someone has any soft coral frags i would love to buy some off you, or help you thin out.

Looking good but what a deep sand bed. Lots of swimming space wasted.

Each to their own, some livestock likes sand

Need more room between the rocks try and create some caves where fish can hide, it also prevents water flow dead spots.

i have a lot of snails that like the sand and the sifting star, and there is egg crate under the rocks so the fish can swim under it.

in the middle of the rock i made a small open egg crate box. the tang and blenny go into it all the time. you cant see the crate but its a nice hiding spot.
